Dropped out: No. 13 Indiana (4-2) after losses to Wake Forest and UNLV; No. 14 California (4-2) after losses to San Diego State and Richmond; No. 17 Notre Dame after losses to Monmouth and Alabama; No. 20 Wichita State (2-4) after losses to Southern Cal, Alabama and Iowa; No. 22 LSU (3-2) after losses to Marquette and N.C. State.

Entered: Providence at No. 15 after a win over Arizona; Syracuse at No. 17 after a win over UConn; West Virginia at No. 24 after a win at San Diego State; Louisville at No. 25.

Analysis: Yes Monmouth opened a lot of eyes last week, but the Hawks fell behind Dayton in the pecking order, and Dayton hurt its cause by losing to Xavier by 31. Still, don't be shocked to see some votes for King Rice's squad . . . The big winner is the Big East: Xavier rises 10 spots after rolling to the Advocare title, and a great showing at the Wooden Legacy vaults Providence onto the national stage . . . Unbeaten Cincinnati also climbs 10 spots after gutting out a win over GW . . . The bottom half of the poll was chaotic as five teams dropped out and four plummeted due to losses. That’s a messy week.
